Hema Malini, in her autobiography, shared how Dharmendra's mother surprised her with a visit after she became pregnant with Esha Deol. She said, "Dharamji's mother Satwant Kaur came to meet me once at a dubbing studio in Juhu, after I had conceived Esha. I touched her feet, she hugged me and said, 'Beta, khush raho humesha (Be happy always)'."
